@vanjaramfry @subra51 @tnpoliceoffl @ChennaiTraffic @CMOTamilnadu @reclaimchennai Why go to the court for everything? File a police complaint with the highest authority in Chennai. You have only sent a tweet sitting comfortably, if inaction, then take the next step and escalate to Senior officials or file a writ petition before the court.

E20 fu​​​​​​​el use in older cars can be treated as ‘improper use’ or ‘negligence’: ICICI Lombard https://t.co/kSRHnIwXmH

@krnambati According another set of urban nxls: E20 is perfectly fine for all cars, won't cause any damage and will give great mileage like E0 petrol and no EV vehicle will ever catch fire. Source: Trust me bro I produce ethanol who supply to oil companies and make profit.

@AAneerudh Not really, Gen 3 is much better

@MenacingMeoww @chennaicorp @sameerangs @ChennaiTraffic @CMOTamilnadu Remove the side mirror from the car, write a note and walk away peacefully 😆

Earlier my full tank used to cost ₹3300.

Now the same tank costs ₹3567.
That’s already ₹267 extra.

But the real damage is mileage.

Earlier:
16.5 kmpl average

Now:
11.5 kmpl average

If I drive 1,650 km a month:

Earlier fuel needed:
1,650 ÷ 16.5 = 100 litres

Now fuel needed:
1,650 ÷ 11.5 = 143 litres

Extra fuel consumption:
43 litres more every month.

At around ₹101.90/litre,
monthly extra expense = ₹4,382 more.

So effectively:

₹3300 tank became ₹3567
+
₹4382 extra monthly fuel burn because mileage crashed.

Middle class is paying more money to travel the same distance.

@ARJJUN94 He was a common man before elections. Did he not know then? You are a joke.

[Revanth Ashok @revanthajb]

@TheAtulMishra Given the choice-who will buy anything other than pure petrol?

[Revanth Ashok @revanthajb]

@SudarsanKrish I agree with you

[Revanth Ashok @revanthajb]

@PRAKHARDUBEY007 @volklub Same here with my i20

[Pablo Chaterji @pablochaterji]

Right now, the best advice I can give you as an automotive journalist is to stop buying new cars and bikes, until this #ethanol mess is sorted out. OEMs are too scared to say anything to the government, so this will be one way of pressurising them as well.

[Revanth Ashok @revanthajb]

@SudarsanKrish He can buy, not from govt. funds boss

[Revanth Ashok @revanthajb]

@Rakita462760 So you'll eat cockroach knowing and seeing it in your food? Are you dumb? What is your argument here?

[Revanth Ashok @revanthajb]

@dr_x33 Thank you

[Sincere Dibya @TheSincereDude]

Let's do some basic math before celebrating.

Ethanol has ~33% LESS energy density than pure petrol. Running a vehicle on E85 drops your fuel mileage by a massive 25% to 35%. 

Unless E85 is priced a whopping 35%+ cheaper than normal petrol, citizens will be buying more litres to cover the same distance; effectively paying a hidden premium at the pump.

Add the premium upfront cost of buying a specialized Flex-Fuel Vehicle, and the math simply doesn't favor the middle class.

"Significantly lower" needs to be quantified by thermodynamics, not just headlines.

@max_matrix1 You are fool, me too. Convince people to not vote for a government like this

@IndSafetyWatch @venkat_fin9 Please purchase BS6 vehicles at your own cost for all

[Revanth Ashok @revanthajb]

@venkat_fin9 Fuel monopoly

@amol_kop His response is better than people who don't come to answer the reporters at all.
